In Revenge - Gonzalo Gutierrez Slays Nine Moors,
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching by the renowned Italian artist Antonio Tempesta, created in the early 17th century. This powerful work of art is taken from "The History of the Seven Sons of Lara," a popular series of illustrated books based on the legendary Spanish epic poem, "La Casas de Alba." The scene depicts Gonzalo Gutierrez, one of the Seven Sons of Lara, taking revenge against nine Moorish enemies who had previously killed his father and seven brothers. The son's unyielding determination to avenge his family's honor is brought to life in this dramatic and vividly detailed etching. Gonzalo, a masculine figure clad in armor, stands tall and resolute as he wades through the chaos of the battlefield. With a fierce expression on his face, he raises his sword high above his head, ready to strike down the last of his adversaries. The nine Moors, lying in various stages of defeat, are scattered around him, their expressions conveying surprise, fear, and despair. The contrast between the light and dark figures creates a striking visual effect, emphasizing the theme of revenge and the triumph of good over evil. The use of strong lines, bold text, and intricate lettering adds to the overall impact of the image, making it a standout piece from the Baroque era. This etching, now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the enduring power of literature and the artistry of Tempesta. It invites viewers to explore the rich cultural heritage of Europe and America, and to reflect on the timeless themes of honor, family, and revenge.
